Yeah, it is rather slow acting, and looking it up, the specifics are 300 damage over 40 seconds to a minimum of 1 to those caught in the AoE, which is… not that spectacular, haha. It does work on structures as well as units, however, and it isn’t like Zagara isn’t wanting for expendable/free units to throw at enemies/waves to weaken them preemptively. I’d assume the Defiler would get some kind of Consume mechanic to also be able to restore its energy, as well, to make spells spammable.
Cyclones are basically better, modern successors to Diamondbacks, so the DBs would be rather worthless in his arsenal. A worthy upgrade, I’d imagine, in Swann’s eyes.
Seems like diamondbacks in Swann’s army would be redundant, and beside the fact that he lacks air variety.
I think the solution is adding gunner seats to the transport, sort of like and infested bunker. Would make them a BC style heavy air in addition to their transport role.
Zagara needs an air caster, and I hope that defiler ends up as a centerpiece In a future zerg commander. Maybe overmind.
Specters belong with Tosh, who should be our next Terran. Also: shredders, predators, diamondbacks, warhounds, PF, etc.
